Also a story about Rocco by Jonah Goldberg, Tribune Media Services was reprinted my local paper (Louisville Courier-Journal) under the headline “The NEA Chief came, he saw, he kowtowed.” Nov 1, 2009

Comment on IT IS OKAY FOR ARTISTS TO MAKE MONEY…NO, REALLY, IT’S OKAY by Arinmeffigelf

Very Recently, there has been a great deal of inquiries by the
FTC against bloggers and website developers
for not revealing advertising revenue, or potential
relationships with advertising networks.

What are your personal thoughts concerning how this could potentially effect
the blogging world?

Comment on ROCCO LANDESMAN ANNOUNCES “ART WORKS” TOUR AT THE 2009 GRANTMAKERS IN THE ARTS NATIONAL CONFERENCE by grassfedart

I’m encouraged to see Chairman Landesman get out to the front lines and take in the trauma as well as the burgeoning of art around the nation. Artists need an enthusiastic and well informed advocate in Washington D.C., now more than ever. I hope he can wrangle more funds out of Congress when he returns.

If you support the arts, you may want to know that I’ve just launched a new site devoted to art, http://www.grassfedart.com, and invite artists and artisans to join.

You’ll be the first, or among the first.

Thanks!

I completely agree with Dudley.

Watch for the return of original philanthropy cartoons in the Fall GIA Reader – your legacy!

I tried to get GIA out in front of this one some years ago, thinking we should be poking some fun at ourselves. The private foundation sector can be seen as about as crazy as it comes — beginning with the fact that the people it is supposedly serving — the objects of its largess — are the lowest paid in the entire scheme!

“…the champions of intellectual property can’t afford to waste their energies trying to monopolize images that already properly belong to us all.” There are some very telling assumptions in this final piece of the quote I think. First, the assumption that those pieces of art belong to us all = is this because their creator is dead? is it because the sponsor who may have paid for the creation is dead? or is it that these pieces have been in the public realm long enough, courtesy of the museums that they have been considered to be possessed by the public? In these digital times, the idea of ‘who does it belong to?’ is revealed to be the modernist concept of ownership that it always was, built on the concept of enclosure in order to determine ownership, and as troubling as that is, the issue of time is also consequential for these discussions and for future ones to come. A colleague once told me that there were no original ideas left, just original contributions. If this is truly the state of affairs, who has claim?

Comment on HERE WE GO AGAIN ? by Ian David Moss

Wow, that is a really stupid article. It’s obvious that the assignment was just “let’s go stir up a hornet’s nest about the NEA” and they went straight for San Francisco like fruitflies to dog poo. Not to mention the bad research ($80 million in stimulus funds? Who knew? Maybe they can tell us where to collect the extra 60%?) and the fact that none of the information in the headline and lede is actually, you know, true. But what do you expect, it’s Fox News.

Comment on MICHELLE OBAMA PROMOTES ARTS EDUCATION AT DESIGN AWARDS by kirsti

I think it is always interesting to say we should ‘expose kids to art’ when really at the very young ages, kids are art. They live it, it flows through them as they live in an imaginary world, free of the distinctions and objectives that the more grown up world of knowledge imposes on them. In other words, it is not exposure that kids need, it is the support of the imagination and the sustenance of it that they need. This occurs in the home, in school, in public, in nature. Anywhere. It also leads to community goods, wealth and health for all.

Comment on IDLE SPECULATIONS AND FILLER ABOUT THE NEA by Andrew Taylor

Perhaps they accidentally reprinted an article from 1989. Wonder if they also published a movie review for ”When Harry Met Sally”.
